One rune. A few minutes of quiet.
Runa is an iPhone app where runes become a small daily ritual.
Draw the rune of the day. Come with your own question when you need more. Read the old image, see what it touches today of all days, and keep your answer in a private journal.
No AI telling you what to think. No feed you have to scroll. No account that knows more about you than it needs to.
One rune for today
Every day one rune appears in Runa. The same one all day long. You cannot refresh the screen until something nicer comes up. You see the sign, its old image and a question you can take with you. Tomorrow there will be another. One sign. One day. Enough time to notice it.
The rune of the day is free forever.
When you have a question of your own
Sometimes you do not want the rune of the day. You want to come with something specific. Work. A relationship. A decision you keep putting off. A feeling that has not found its name yet.
In Runa a reading begins not with a ready answer but with a short ritual. You put your question into words. You draw a rune. And only then does it open before you: the old image → For you → a question to think about
Not a forecast. Not a command. Something to think your own thought about.
Old images. A modern reading.
We do not write a beautiful «ancient wisdom» for every rune. First comes what has actually survived. The rune poems. The names of the runes. Their old images. And the modern reading stands apart — honestly marked as modern.
- Fehu begins with wealth.
- Isa — with ice.
- Raidho — with the road.
- Sowilo — with the sun.
First what the old texts left. Then — what this image can say to you now.
A reading has an end
In Runa there is no endless feed. No streak you have to save. No one more rune, one more forecast, one more way to keep you in the app.
You come. You go through the ritual. You take with you what you noticed. And you close the app.
It does not fight for your attention. It asks for it for a few minutes.
Your notes stay yours
After a reading you can leave a few words in the journal. What you thought. What you felt. What became clearer. A month later you can come back and see not only which runes came, but who you were when you drew them.
The journal is kept on your iPhone. No account. No cloud profile. No AI reading your notes.
Some things should not leave the phone.
24 runes, not 24 keywords
All the runes of the Elder Futhark are available in the app. For each one: the old image, the historical context, «For you», a question to think about, the reversed reading — if you decide to use it. Not simply money, protection and love, handed out by sign.
A rune is almost always more interesting than one word.
You can start for free
Runa downloads for free. The rune of the day stays free forever. All 24 runes can be explored without paying. And the first deeper rituals are our gift. If you want to stay, there will not be yet another monthly subscription.
One purchase. That is all. A rune set is not rented by the month. You buy it — and it stays yours. We wanted Runa to feel the same way.
One purchase opens the whole app. Forever. No ad-supported tier. No Premium Plus. No yearly renewal.
Your runes. Your journal. Your ritual.
Your language matters too
Runa is available in twenty languages. Among them Ukrainian, English, Spanish — and even Icelandic, the language of the youngest of the three rune poems we rely on. The runes are old. The questions you bring to them are yours.
Let at least the words between them sound in your own language.
Try one rune
You do not need to know the Elder Futhark. You do not need to call yourself a pagan. You do not need to decide whether this is magic. Come with a question. Draw one rune. And see what it makes you notice.
One rune. A few minutes of quiet. Everything else is yours.
And if you would rather get to know the runes first —
